I see it as a disk drive where memory mapping is a NOP and its performance close to RAM. So an .exe starting from this disk already has all of its contents mapped to RAM, and you can create and memory-map a 512 GB file on it and use it essentially as a RAM blovk in your processe's memory space. But you then can close and reopen it meaning it's guaranteed to be persistent.
